GTA Folks - In discussions with Eric ( Hsbgshop ), he's got significant damage and work ahead for the canopies to be in a reusable state for another event. These  units had only been used once and while some sourcing of bulk pipe may help to salvage some of the product, the canvas is likely to be a loss and corners will need to be repaired. The smaller tents are likely to be a total loss as well.

The costs of the 20’x40’ tents were just over $1k each. The two 10x20’ units were about $125 each. 

To say that it was a difficult Sunday for Eric and his family is a bit of an understatement.

These events are a significant amount of work and expense. As a goodwill gesture from the GTA community, the NASA group out of Northwest Arkansas has started this GoFundMe to assist Eric in rebuilding. 100% of the net proceeds will go to Eric.
